I did not add anything extra as far as food options, but if i was hungry id do a big cup of hot tea.. If that didnt work, id go for another shake. I decided an extra shake was better than a bunch of really bad carbs. So maybe go with a cup of hot tea, an ice pack on the head and then add a shake if all else fails. Hang in there. What you are doing now increases the chances for a successful surgery and less trauma to your liver. Most say the withdrawal only lasts a few days. Hope thats true for you too!

What about eating raw veggies

My doctor allowed non-starchy vegetables on the pre-op diet but not everyone does. If you're really struggling call them and see if they have any ideas. Good luck and remember this is only temporary.

What about eating raw veggies

I had a very specific diet that we did, 3 shakes a day, 1 Protein bar and 1 packet protein Soup and I could hardly choke down the soup and begged for options and she said I could add something such as salsa to the soup, which was tolerable in tomato, but also said I could add something up to 25 calories and I had a serving of green Beans twice to just get me over the hump. Not sure if it was the greatest choice but it did not cause harm and gave me a feeling of "food." Again, not sure what your doctor suggests but those were rules we had and adding salsa and green beans was within my rules. My feelings of hunger during preop diet were up and down, but I am one week postop and it was well worth it having a safe surgery. Good luck. Hang in there. It is well worth it.
